About the Painting
There was a local vineyard that enraptured Van Gogh completely, especially with the way its colors were getting transformed into red and yellow hues of autumn.
The days were getting shorter and Van Gogh had less time to capture these beautiful views. This must be one of those days when Van Gogh worked outdoors during the early evening, as the sunlight reflected in the river, flowing by the side of the vineyard.
The painting was put up at the annual exhibition of Lex XX in Brussels in the year 1890. Anna Boch, who was an art collector from Belgium and an impressionist painter, bought the painting for 400 Francs. She was known to Van Gogh as the sister of his friend Eugene Boch.
The painting was later acquired by Sergei Shchukin, a Russian Collector, nationalized by the Bolsheviks and then passed on to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
